Gas prices are killing me and severely thwarting my photo road trips. If I gas up in town it's around $3.90/gal, a short drive across the bay into Tourist Town and it jumps over 20¢.

That's when … Continue reading 49 and a half

Spring has come to Florida! Well, it's been here a while, but I finally got to work and took advantage of the frostless days and started my annual attempt at growing things. I have a notorious brown thumb, but it never keeps me from trying. Several years ago my husband built me two raised planters, and … Continue reading Spring has sprung
